Kimeon Tyrone Bolden, 28, of Kalamazoo, was found guilty by a jury that deliberated for almost five hours after the two-day trial. He could get up to life in prison at his May 24 sentencing by Kalamazoo County Circuit Judge Gary C. Giguere Jr.

Kalamazoo County sheriff’s detective Lawrence Downey testified Wednesday that Bolden admitted to him about a month after the March 14, 2009 incidents that he had sexual contact with the victim.

Bolden said he was groggy from working an overnight shift at Lakeside, located at 3921 Oakland Dr., and drifted to sleep but awoke to find the teen was committing a sex act on him.

Two other sex acts were also performed, Downey testified, reading from Bolden’s statement.

DNA found on the teen’s clothes matched Bolden’s, according to expert testimony.

The victim testified Tuesday that he was afraid to say anything during the assaults for fear Bolden “would try to blame it on me.”

The teen’s mother said following the verdict that “justice is served,” but declined to comment further.

Bolden’s attorney, Andis Svikis, declined to comment following the verdict.

“It’s OK,” Bolden said, nodding his head toward family members in the courtroom, before sheriff’s deputies led him away in handcuffs.
